Abstract (en)

A switching device (102, 104, 106; 204) for electric power distribution, electrically connectable to an electrical conductor (220), the switching device comprising a breaker (126, 128, 130) electrically connectable to the electrical conductor (220), and an electrically conductive housing (120, 122, 124; 210) to which the breaker is mounted, the switching device providing a current path between the breaker (126, 128, 130) and the electrical conductor (220), and the housing houses at least one guiding member (150, 152) for operating the breaker, the at least one guiding member being movable in relation to the housing, the housing having an outer surface (134; 234), wherein the housing (120, 122, 124; 210) has a smooth outer shape to distribute the electric field generated by the voltage of the current through the switching device (102, 104, 106; 204). A switchgear comprising such a switching device.
